The name 'Ash' is derived from the Old English word 'æsc', which means 'ash tree'. Meanwhile, 'Don' is a short form of Donald, which comes from the Scottish name 'Dónald', meaning 'proud chief'. Together, Ashdon signifies someone who is proud and associated with strength or steadfastness. The name has seen limited use throughout history but gained minor popularity in recent times, making it an attractive choice for parents seeking a unique yet meaningful moniker for their sons.
The name Ashdon experienced fluctuations in popularity over the years, with the most births occurring in 2005 (15 babies) and 2009 (18 babies). The name's peak was between 2003 to 2016, with consistently high numbers of births each year. However, since 2017, there has been a noticeable decrease in the number of newborns named Ashdon.
